Is This Graded Merc Possible?

When you get down to the Ag-G grades, does the surface originality matter or ? It appears to have been harshly cleaned, but I could be wrong. Wouldn't this normally have "details" on the label? Opinions?

Although I would wait for a beter example if looking for a good...I would say when this generation of holder was being used it would be market acceptable.

Looks OK to me.

Makes sense, I forgot about the holder's generation. I'm looking to fill that one blank spot in my Merc album and trying to find a decent, uncertified G as my collection ranges from VG-Au.
Got a bid right now on the Bay that ends tomorrow.

Cheers,
Bob

Looks good to me.

So the part of the coin that is brighter is just honest wear and the rest of the coin has a natural dark tone?

Thats a good dirty coin, no issues here at that grade.

I don't really like the looks of that one.
Some months back, I traded off a PCGS G4 that, imho, blew that one out of the water for original looks and meat on the coin.
